As if you didn’t know, President Bush addressed Congress last night. I worked late and so I didn’t catch it live or hear any of the post-speech spin. So this little piece of analysis is purely derived from the inner workings of my brain.
Bush stuck to his campaign mantra of education, defense, tax cuts, and […]

Angus is as excited as I am about a new Battlestar Galatica series. I’ve been catching up on the episodes as they appear on the Sci-Fi Channel via Tivo. The story lines aren’t as cheesy as you’d think, Athena’s hot, and I can swear like Star Buck. (FRACK!) I need more!

Bill Clinton says, “I want to get out of the news,” but don’t believe him. This man craves attention. He feeds off the attention (both good and bad) of people around him. Clinton went on to say, “I am trying to go home and have a life.” But his life for over 20 years […]

I’ve been meaning to post this for a few days, but I got distracted with putting the finishing touches on the new site. Kevin Whited’s weblog has seemingly come out of no where to being a great source for high quality, though-provoking links. He’s also RIGHT politically. I’ve added it to the TAM weblog family. […]

Robert Bartley’s a fan of Calvin Coolidge:

President Reagan also cited the Coolidge (actually Coolidge-Mellon) tax cuts, which helped fuel the boom of the 1920s and increased rather than decreased government revenues. Succeeding with the death of Harding in 1923, Coolidge also cleaned up the Teapot Dome scandal by appointing a special counsel (actually two, a […]

Jennifer Braceras followed the work

Comments Off

Jennifer Braceras followed the work of the United States Commission on Civil Rights as it investigated charges of minority voter disenfranchisement in Florida. They didn’t find anything of any substance, but that didn’t stop Chairman Mary Frances Berry from saying, “Most of what happened to people was not even being able to get to the […]

The women on Rep. Tom

The women on Rep. Tom DeLay’s congressional staff have been dubbed by the Washington Post as the “Whip Chicks.”
I’d love to read the letters to the editor from the male-hating NOW gang over the catchy name.

What do sci-fi geeks do

Filed under Uncategorized
Comments Off

What do sci-fi geeks do when they’re not at their day jobs? They dig up tiny nuggets of movie news and complain that Spider-Man won’t have mechanical web shooters.
Why James Cameron thinks spider webs shooting out of Peter Parker’s wrists are so important in the up coming movie, I don’t know. Although it is interesting […]

Welcome to the new digs!
After over a year of serious blogging, I decided that I needed some breathing room (thanks Dreamhost). A big long address on Angelfire wasn’t as geeky as having my very own domain name (thanks Dotster) and I wanted to find out what all the fun was about with Blogger. After […]

Scientists have pretty much ignored metals as useful superconductors. They usually require really, really cold temperatures. Instead, they’ve been playing around with oxygen-based compounds. Now, scientists have discovered that a metal reaches superconductivity at a higher tempature.

Comments Off

No more claims that President Bush is illegitimate. Based on a ballot review of votes in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Volusia Counties, Al Gore would have only gained 49 votes. And this review used very liberal standards like “counting every dimple, pinprick and hanging chad identified in the section for presidential votes on the […]

Comments Off

University of California president Richard Atkinson decided this week to jetison the SAT for admission purposes. He said SAT results “can have devastating impact on the self-esteem and aspirations of young students,” and that the test is “perceived as unfair.” Instead, he wants a more “holistic” approach to finding UC freshmen.
Thomas Sowell sees this as […]

Reagan, In His Own Hand

Comments Off

Reagan, In His Own Hand is such an important book because it documents the real intellect of our 40th President. Let me quote Jay Nordlinger to back me up:

And that is a problem we Reagan champions have: always trying to prove that our man — undeniably a politician and leader of great skill — was […]

Jack Kemp wants President Bush’s

Jack Kemp wants President Bush’s tax cut to be double the $1.6 trillion he has proposed. Kemp thinks surplus projections are underestimated and that Congress will be awash with money even after it pays off the national debt.
